The Hillcrest Youth Center is one of the most popular destinations in San Diego for GLBT homeless kids. Located directly in the heart of Hillcrest, the house buzzes five days a week with a diverse crowd of kids between the ages of 18 and 24. If you are a youth and looking to tap into the HYC’s resources, here are a few highlights:

• Common Ground: a general queer youth discussion group

• OUTSPOKEN: HYC’s very own literary magazine! Share your work or get involved with the editing, layout or design.

• Project HEART: (Helping End Abusive Relationships Together) a discussion group exploring healthy versus unhealthy relationships.

• Tutoring: Drop in if you need homework help.

• YLC: Youth Leadership Council – get involved!

• Youth Express: HYC’s Open Mic Night. Bring your poetry, music and talent.
